Coin: Kid's Bank
Hase: I HOPE THIS WORLD GETS DESTROYED!!!!

Page 8:
Otose: The world really is being destroyed!!!
SFX: PAAAN (SLAP)
Otose: What kind of low-level despair are you doing at a time like this?!
Do you know what's going on in Edo right now?!!
Hase: What about Edo? Is it being destroyed? So what?
That's got nothin' ta do with me. I'm at the brink of destruction every freaking day!!
All it means is you're standing on the same plane as I am now.
Welcome to my world.
Cath: He is the final boss of this manga, right?
Otose: This is the strength of someone with nothing to lose. I'd rather not end up like that.
Tama: I am back.
SFX: GARARA
Otose: Tama, what's it like in the city?
Tama: .........

Page 9:
Tama: ----It's like it was 20 years ago.
The Amato are attacking.
They are suddenly swooping down to our country that had been long closed.
People are afraid of them and are running around trying to escape them.
People are disappearing from the city and in their place, Amanto are swaggering around the country as if they owned it.
Gengai: Even now after we thought that fear had been left far behind,
it looks like it's back with a vengeance.
It's like they're colonizing.
Kyuu: I think that might actually be the case.
There may not have been a war, but they are already occupying this country.

Page 10:
Someone: It's the Altana Liberation Army.
They have risen in revolt against the Altana Preservation Society, in other words the Tendoushuu.
They are an allied army formed around the countries whose planets were destroyed by the Tendoushuu.
Their goal is the destruction of the society.
They have already destroyed outposts on other planets and taken back the Altana that had been under complete control by the Tendoushuu.
And now they have given check to the Tendoushuu here on this planet.
The Terminal's been destroyed and now they're basically occupying the principal entity.
But the locations of the Tendoushuu themselves are unknown.
They also can't find the whereabouts of the Shogun, the one who should be getting this under control.
The Bakufu has already collapsed and is no longer functioning as a government.
There's no one left to protect everyone.

Page 11:
Kyuu: ...But maybe long before this happened to it,
our country may have already met its end.
Tae: So basically,
this country got caught up in a war between the Tendoushuu and these Allied Army guys?
Tsu: Then if we present tha heads of tha Tendoushuu to those guys, that'd aughtta settle tha whole situation, right?
Sa: It's not just the Tendoushuu. You can be certain that their plan is to take this planet for themselves as well.
Tsu: Then we aughtta chase those impolite bastards outta here, right?
Sa: This late in the game, do you think there's anyone stupid enough to make enemies out of the entire universe?
Tsu: Yeah, I think there is.

Page 12:
Tsu: Tama-san.
Where are they
right now?
Now then...

Page 13:
Hase: What are those idiots...
off doing?
Narr: We cannot
give up.
SFX: GAGA GAGA
Guys: You bastaard!!
Think you can ridicule the Liberation Army, do ya?!!
SFX: PARA PARA (Clatter)
Guys: We're fighting to free the people of all planets from the rule of the Tendoushuu.
Are you saying you can't cooperate with us in that battle?!!

Page 14:
Old Guy: P-Please, mercy. I'm a feeble old man just barely getting by.
My home is empty. I don't have anything left to give...
Guy: Oh, really?
Then we'll just take the house.
Guy: HIIIH
SFX: GAGAGAGAGAGA
Hase: No matter
no matter what pit of despair we might be standing in,
Woman: KYAAA!!
SFX: DOON
Guys: You've got guts serving shitty booze like this to the Liberation Army!
Are you one of the Society's underlings or something?!
Guy: N-No, sir!!
Guy: Then bring us the most expensive liquor you've got in this joint!
Guy: Hey, hey, don't you think you had a bit much, dude?
SFX: WAHAHA GASHAN
Hase: No matter
what vast darkness we might be stuck in,

Page 15:
Guys: !
Hey, what're you doing there, bastard?!
Hase: .........
Hmph.
Guy: I'd heard there were actually some proud warriors on this planet. And that's not something you come across too often in the universe.
While the Tendoushuu were ruling you, did you not only drop your coins, but your pride, too?
Don't let me interrupt. Keep picking 'em up.
SFX: CHARIN
SFX: PEH
Guy: 'Course even with the Tendoushuu gone,
you guys won't be taking back anything you lost.
